Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways Slot Details & Wager Limits
The Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot comes with 6 reels and up to 15,625 ways to win. Up to 7 symbols will appear on each reel, at random. With more symbols on the reels, you’ll benefit from more ways to win, up to 15,625 in this case.
You can form winning outcomes with seeing matching symbols on consecutive reels (starting from reel 1). For more info, find out how Megaways slots work.
Playable from 10p to £100 per spin, click on the Bet circle to see all available 11 stakes. You can also increase/decrease your bet level using the up and down arrows. The Paytable shows payouts in coins so divide by 10 to get the currency equivalent. In some countries, there’s an Auto Play function (not the UK though).
The Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways RTP is 96.1% which is above average (approximately 96%) but below what most Megaways games offer. Unlike other Megaways slots, the variance is in the medium bracket.
What isn’t in the middle are the potential payouts. The max win per spin is 50,000 x your total stake. The bigger wins will come in the free spins.
Theme – go fishing for the catch of the day
With a fishing theme, the Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot is the Megaways version of the iconic Fishin’ Frenzy (1 of Blueprint Gaming’s most popular releases). Set deep in the ocean, the graphics and animations are quite simple and reminiscent of its predecessor which is a pub/land-based favourite. The soundtrack is also quite offensive in my opinion so best play on mute.
With A, K, Q, J and 10 royals on the reels, you’ll come across bait trays, rubber rings, fishing reels and seagulls. The seagull is the most rewarding symbol with 6 on a payline paying 20 x your total stake.
You will also see blue fish symbols which come with stake prizes. Land 3 or more to win up to 10 x stake (in the base game). In the free spins, there are worth quite a bit more.
The fisherman symbol is the wild and substitutes for all symbols bar the scatter. It appears on all reels bar the first one. That scatter is represented by fishing boats. You’ll also see blue fish symbols which have monetary values.
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways Mobile
Despite looking a little tatty graphically, Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways is playable on mobile, tablet and desktop devices. For the optimal experience, and due to the large number of symbols that can appear, a laptop or PC will provide a better visual outcome.
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways Bonus Features
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways comes with 1 main bonus feature. It’s all about free spins where blue fish symbols have cash prizes worth up to 50 x stake.
Fisherman Free Games feature
This game focuses on the Fisherman Free Games feature. This is triggered when you get 3 or more fishing boat scatters. 3, 4, 5 or 6 will reward you with 10, 15, 25 or 50 free spins respectively.
During the feature, you’ll see blue fish symbols which have cash prizes up to 50 x stake on them. When the Fisherman wild appears, all the blue fish and their associated prizes will be won. Unfortunately, you cannot win additional free spins as the scatter doesn’t appear on the reels.
You can also buy your way into the Fisherman Free Games feature. Known as the Fishin’ Frenzy Bonus Bet feature, it can be purchased by clicking on the Feature Bet button to the left of the reel set. This will cost you 100 x stake. This option is not available to UK players.
Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways Review Summary – simple Megaways catch
The Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways slot was inevitable due to the popularity of Fishin’ Frenzy. Despite being released in April 2019, it’s graphically identical to the original game which will please many.
The gameplay is also very similar with blue fish giving you cash prizes in the free spins. The difference in the Megaways version is that you can play up to 50 free spins as opposed to 20 in the original.
Saying that, the win potential in the Megaways version is 10 times higher than in Fishin’ Frenzy (50,000 x stake vs 5,000 x stake). The key to big wins is by landing plenty of high value symbols on as many Megaways as possible (up to 15,625).
I would only play Fishin’ Frenzy Megaways if you’re a fan of the original game or even Fishin’ Frenzy The Big Catch 3. When it comes to Megaways, there are better games out there, including White Rabbit Megaways (by Big Time Gaming) and Royale with Cheese Megaways (from iSoftBet).
